  • -------------------------------------
  • Leeds 3-3 Sunderland - FT

73. He needs treatment. Stetching out whatever it is. Leeds still managing the game pretty well for now. Sunderland throwing attacks at them but dealing with it. Klaesson not exactly being peppered.

75. McKinstry crosses from a dinked ball over the top by Jenkins. Dean tries to get on the end of it but after a touch he is crowded out by defenders.

Sunderland free-kick

76. Ferguson dives in on Taylor. Free-kick. It’s about 30-yards from goal on the left... good chance to deliver here.

77. Moore hacks away the free-kick. Leeds then see out another attack. Sunderland trying but finding it hard to make any gaps behind Leeds. Coleman and Jenkins also doing a good job of spreading the ball out when they get it.

79. A dangerous ball across the box from the Black Cats. Cleared, eventually.

GOAL. Sunderland, 3-2 - a loose ball across the box by Leeds is punished.

Sunderland back in it

81. Ferguson plays a ball across his own box and Kelly picks up the loose pass. He fires home past Klaesson. Game on. 3-2

83. Klaesson with an important save from a Taylor header. Sunderland asking big questions at the moment.

85. Ooft. Jenkins cuts inside Sunderland... it opens up. He decides to shoot and Carney in goal is very worried. It flies just past the post.

88. Both sides going for it. Jenkins and Dean at one end... Sunderland coming back. United holding their shape well at the moment.
